THOMAS A. BARIL, OF ROCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE, ASSIGNOR'OF ONE- HALE TO JULIUS SALINGER, OF SAME PLACE.

GLOVE-WRAPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 526,340, dated September 18, 1894.

Application lecl January 4, 1894. Sen'al No. 495,634. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS A. BARIL, of Rochester, in the county of Stratford, State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glove-Wrappers, of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which said invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specitication, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view showing a package of gloves contained in my improved wrapper; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section of the same; and Fig. 3 a transverse section taken on line, aux, in Fig. 1.

Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the dierent ligures of the drawings.

My invention relates especially to a device for containing gloves while on sale, it being designed to prevent the stitched edges of the gloves from wearing and the moisture of the leather from evaporating, while aordin g convenient means for displaying the articles for selling; and it consists in certain novel features hereinafter fully set forth and claimed, the object being to produce a simpler, cheaper and more effective device of this character than is now in ordinary use.

The nature and operation of the improve ment will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation.

In the drawings, A B represent two rectangular sheets of stiff card-board, celluloid or other suitable material cut slightly longer and wider than the glove when folded in the ordinary manner. These sheets form the sides of the wrapper. One sheet as, B, is formed in two sections hinged together by their ends at,

rlfhe companion-sheet, A, is provided centrally on one face with a stud, g. A loop or binder, C, is slotted transversely at, h, said stud sliding in the slot and enabling the binder t0 be moved a determined distance longitudinally of the wrapper. The binder is of such length that it will-encircle the package so that its ends, c', j, will overlap. The end, f5, is provided with a series of holes, k.

The end, j, is provided with a hook, m, adapted to enter said holes and fasten the binder. In use, the ends of the binder being disengaged the package of gloves, D, is disposed on the sheet, A. The sectional sheet, B, is then placed on top and the binder, C, folded over said sheet across its joint, f. The hook, la, being inserted in an opening, m, secures the binder. The binder is constructed of celluf loid or other material sufficiently rigid to hold the sectional sheet, B, tightly against the package of gloves, as shown in Fig. 1, preventing the joint from accidentally breaking.

When it is desired to remove a pair of gloves from the package, the sliding binder is moved downward from the center of the package until the hinged joint, f, is free, as shown in Fig. 2, when the member, p, of the sheet, B, maybe turned outward exposing at least one-half of the glove which is sufficient for displaying the same or removing a single pair. By turning the member, p, downward again into alignment with its companion member, 102, and pushing the slide, C, over the hinge, f, the package is again in suitable condition for storing and the gloves are pr0- tected thereby from wear in handling said packages. By means of a series of holes, k, for receiving a hook, m, the binder can be adj usted as the size of the package changes. It will be understood that either of the sheets, A B, may be hinged at, f, or both of said sheets may be broken centrally if desired.

Having thus explained my invention, what I claim isl. A glove-wrapper comprising two sheets, one of said sheets being formed in sections hinged together; a stud on one of said sheets; a binder slotted to slide on said stud and mechanism for securing the ends of sai-d binder together.

2. A glove wrapper for the purposes specified comprising two sheets, one of said sheets being formed in hinged sections; a stud on one of said sheets; a binder slotted to slide on said stud; a hook on one end of said binder and a series of openings in its opposite end for receiving said hook.
